This chapter delves into the latest data on church staffing levels, discussing the attendance to full-time staff ratio, turnover rates, and staff allocation based on ministry areas and church sizes. It shows a positive trend in staff normalization, with smaller churches having a tighter staffing ratio and larger churches emphasizing a streamlined staff approach. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding different staffing practices, including staff restructuring and the need for a clear destination in church restructuring processes.
